Home Of The Whale Lyrics - Massive Attack

Oh my love he works upon the sea 

On the waves that blow wild and free 

He splices the ropes and he sets the sail 

While southwards he roams to the home of the whale 

And he ne'er thinks of me far behind 

Or the torments that rage in my mind 

He is mine for only part of the year 

Then I'm left all alone with only my tears 

All ye ladies that smell of white rose 

Thank ye for your perfume to wear on my gold 

Thank ye all the wives and the babies that yearn 

For the man ne'er returns from hunting the sperm [whale]

While southwards he roams to the home of the whale
